Commissioned Workshop Project

B has been commissioned by his language arts tutor to build a set of drawers for the office. This is the first project that will be going outside of our home (or B's grandparent's home). He has worked diligently and is in the final stages. B worked with grandma to draw the plans on paper and build a prototype out of cardboard. They worked with the measurements and a picture in a catalog. Once the prototype was approved, they started measuring and sawing.

-part way into the project (forgot the camera in the other visits to the shop)
- working on the band saw - cutting the handles in the fronts of the drawers
- attaching a drawer face with tiny finishing nails, after glueing and clamping
- almost there
- will it fit????
YES!

Check back for the final photos - once the casters are on, the sanding has been done and the stain has dried.
